This is a very exciting thriller that moves in different social milieus. On the one hand money laundering and on the other the drug cartel. It's also about nasty politicians, obedient chief officials and prostitution.
The drug trade is about horse owners who are not afraid to kill live animals. The weaknesses of individuals are deliberately made use of in order to be able to blackmail them at the same time so that the powerful can not be brought down.
The only one who can not be blackmailed, even if it is tried again and again, is Commissaire Daquin, who is open to his homosexuality. But the evildoers are not aware of that. ( )

Different. Written in a rather different style to your anglo-saxon crime writers. Enjoyable though, and a rather different take on characters, plot development, style and pace. One gaping hole in the plot apart, was a good read. ( )
